Application led. May 24, 1917.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH Soi/Locri, a subject of the King of Hungary,resident of Bridgeport, county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which thefollowing is a specification. j

This invention relates to improvements in toys, and particularly tothose of a movable type. j

The principal object of the invention is to provide a toy which may be'trundled' along any level surface, the same consisting of a wheeledtruck upon which are pivoted mov able objects, representing livingcharacters, motion being transmitted to the objects by the truck wheels.

A further object is to provide means in forms which cause an audiblesound, simulative of the sound produced by the characters as engaged intheir representative vocations.

A further object is to provide a cheap and durable toy, easily operatedby children and which affords great pleasure and amusement.

These `and other like objects are attained by the novel design,construction and combination of parts hereafter described and shown inthe accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure,and in which: j

Figure l is a partial side elevational and sectional view of a toy madein accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same, and

Fig. 3 is a partial side view showing a modiiication of construction.

In the views shown in Figs. l and 2, pairs of wheels 10 and 12 aremounted on axles 13 upon which rise standards 14, the same being securedto platforms 15., having end plates 16, connected by longitudinallydisposed bars 17, forming a frame in which the characters operate.

Attached centrally on the platform 15 is a cylindrical projection 20,having a level Vupper surface 2l,v simulative of a common forge anvil.

A central opening is formed through the anvil 20 in which is a slidablerod 22, havn ing afliXed upon it, a collar 23, the same being movablewithin a recess 24, formed in the lower part of the anvil, and held nor-Specicaton of Letters Patent.

SeraI No. 170,588. j

mally upward by a coiled spring 25, the lower end of which rests againstthe platform 15, a reduced extension 28 of the rod 22 passing throughthe platforml and having engaged at its lower end a pair of oppositelydisposed levers 30, pivoted at 3l in depending vertical rods 32, whichare used to rigidly secure the bells 33, against which the hammers 35contact when the rod 22 is pressed level with the surface of the anvil,4the hammers being carried at the extreme ends of the levers 30.

One of the axles 13 upon which the wheels 10 are secured is formed witha crank 3S,

l and engaged with the crank is a plate link 39, connected at its outeropposite end by a pin 40 with a bar 42 and also with the lever 45,pivoted on the pin 46, set in the platform 15, and having at its upperend a iigure 48 representing a blacksmith and carrying in an extendedarml 49 a sledge 50.

At the opposite end of the bar 42 is attached another lever 52, pivotedon the pin 53, in the platform 15, and having at its upper end a figure54 simulative of Yanother blacksmith in the extended arm 55 of which iscarried a second hammer or Sledge 56, here shown to be resting upon theface of the anvil and depressing the rod 20, thereby causing the bells33 to emit an audible sound.

Obviously, as the apparatus is trundled and the crank shaft revolved,the position of the figures will be changed, each rising sub stantiallyperpendicular and delivering the blow of a hammer upon the face of theanvil, in alternate relation.

In Fig. 3 a modified view is shown, comprising substantially the sametruck mechanism, but having a crank engaging with a link 61, pivoted atits end to the lever 52 carrying one of the figures, as previouslydescribed.

Also engaged by the pin 63 is a bar 64, communicating reciprocatingmotion to the lever 65, a duplicate lever 66 being engaged through theremovable links 67, the end 68 of which may be removed from the leverand entered into the opening 69 in the platform 15 at which time thelever 66 will be in a perpendicular position or when engaged as sho-wn,communicating motion through the link 70 to another lever 45, pivoted inthe platform.

In this adaptation, one of the figures may be held in a stationaryvertical position,

lll)

While the other may be moved as above described, or both may be solinked tegether by the element vas to act in unison in conveying the Aintermittent motion transmitted n by the crank 60.

From the foregoing, it Will be readily seen that as the truck istrundled along the surface, that either one or both of the objects,simulative of a blacksmith, are caused lto perform their functions andthat the same will be audibly announced by means of the bells indicated.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim asfnew and desireto'secure "by Letf' ters Patent, is i 1.
